Best RX 470???

[LilJimmy]

So I'm pretty much stuck here. I found that the Nitro+ and MSI Gaming X are the best for the RX 470. The MSI card is currently out of stock and I was wondering if the GIGABYTE G1 Gaming is any good? I need help on which card is better base on performance(not Performance per Dollar). Any other card recommendation are welcomed.

Which ever has the highest clock speed is going to be the best performing one. But nothingt stopping you from overclocking a slower one to get close or match the faster one

The gigabyte rx 480 and rx 470 are crap. I'd stay away from them

Avoid Gigabyte on AMD side like a plague.

It will work but expect quite high temperatures and small overcklocking headroom.

The AMD Gigabyte cards have crap cooling.

I would personally go with the sapphire card. Gigabyte cards for AMD run hotter then their counterparts, reducing theoretical performance for overclocking. Also that means they are running louder then the Sapphire cards.

You can get an Asus ROG STRIX from Jet for around $150

Well I'm not from the US so prices are different here. And I'm looking for the best performance card. Leave the prices aside.

Look for a RX470 Strix, Gaming X, or Nitro+.

the msi gaming x is a great rx 470. if you can get that i would go for it.

I heard that XFX cards are well built and have good cooling

all of them are pretty good, sans the gigabyte cards.

For the price of a 470 with a high end cooler you can get a mid range 480 with better performance

in some countries yeah, it is true 

[CatXice]

just get 1 from xfx i cant fault my 480 from them

[LilJimmy]

Well just settle for the Nitro+ but there's 2 different cards. Nitro+ OC and Nitro+ OC w/bp (UEFI). Are they the same? Will both of them work on my system?
